Just how BIG is Black Ops 2?

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” scored $400 million in first-day sales, according to Activision.
“Call of Duty: Black Ops” set an entertainment record the year before, with $360 million in first-day sales.
Recently released (and reviewed here) “Halo 4” rang in $220 million in first-day sales – and that was just on one video game system – the Xbox 360.
And yet, “The Avengers” – $200 million – and “Harry Potter and the Death Hallows: Part 2” – $169 million – get more press, more ink and more publicity than the above listed games. It’s ok – grown ups will get the message one day just how big the pending release of the biggest game of the year.
A recent USA Today story even took a look at sick days used during the yearly “Call of Duty” releases. “Black Ops 2” is no different.
From the “Surprise” trailer – directed by Guy Ritchie and featuring a plethora of Hollywood – and YouTube legends, including FPSRussia, Jack Black and Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr. – to a 30-minute gameplay video uploaded to YouTube a week before release – and promptly yanked – “Black Ops 2” will be the biggest entertainment opening of 2012.
Yes, it’s just that big.
Even if the game gets *just* $400 million, think of the things you could buy for $400 million.
